05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy immediately for optimal freshness.

01 -

The contrast between cold juicy fruit and creamy cheese hits every craving at once
These look like you spent hours arranging them but come together in minutes

02 -

Apples brown quickly—toss them in lemon water before threading and pat dry, or skip them if these will sit out for more than an hour
The cheese starts to sweat and look unappealing if these sit at room temperature for too long, so keep them chilled until the last possible moment

03 -

Buy cheese blocks and cube them yourself—pre-cubed cheese from the store has a weird dry coating that ruins the creamy texture
Work assembly-line style with all ingredients in separate bowls so you can grab and thread without thinking
